Opinions On The Da Vinci 1.0 3D Printer?

Hey everyone!

Slowly creeping my way into 3d printing and I was looking at this 3D printer.

Da Vinci 1.0

Newegg.ca

It appears to have good reviews, but I want opinions from you guys. What do you think? Will a novice be able to learn on it ok? Its $600 so its in my price range, that's why I'm interested.

Thanks, Tech

I have an SD2 currently and aside from damage I caused, I loved it. I got it dialed in and then bent the pulley on the x motor and have just been stalling out on fixing it. My GF is going to order a Press for my Xmas present so I'm very excited. I loved my sd2 and the Press is everything the 2 was plus the upgrade I had to manually add plus 2"x2"x2" bigger print area and bed level detection.

I know Josh had some issues with his SD2 and while I expected a potential nightmare, I had a great experience. I look forward to the Press. I've had to turn down a few print job offers since my printer isn't in proper order so it'll be nice to have 2 printers.

But since @Tech asked about the DaVinci, I recommend you go to soliforum.com. They have a lot of good info on the DaVinci printer , including some stuff about the filament cartridge which to me, is it's only real negative. It seems like a good printer from what I've read.

Either way, I think you'll love owning a 3d printer.
